The aim of this project is to develop a new innovative culture technology for the commercial production of food grade salt water algae with an interesting composition profile for companies in the food and nutrition industry. The project runs from 2014 to 2017. ACRRES is working on this project in cooperation with AF&F BV and Kelstein BV. At ACRRES research is being done on how the cultivation of saltwater algae on land can be made more economically viable. The research considers alternative process water streams with optional additions and the optimisation of light exposure specifically targeting these varieties. For this, ACRRES is using, amongst other things, a rapid screening method to test algae/residual combinations.
